Company patents
Dürr Systems AG
Dürr Systems AG's patent strategy reveals a surprising recent surge in "Conveying & Handling" and "Vehicle Steering & Bodies" in 2025, with +700.0% and +600.0% YoY growth respectively, indicating an emerging focus beyond its dominant "Spraying & Atomizing" core (53.5% of portfolio). While its established categories like "Spraying & Atomizing" and "Manipulators & Robotics" saw significant growth in 2024 (+77.3% and +42.9% YoY), patenting activity across most categories, including these, shows a notable decline so far in 2026, with "Printers & Typewriters" and "Vehicle Steering & Bodies" seeing -100.0% YoY drops.
